Sweatpants Lessons: Week 2

It was a good week for College Football. We had 5 Top 25 upsets. Michigan took care of Notre Dame in the least stressful game of the last 4 years. And Eminem and Brent Musburger had a conversation.

Not to mention we learned a thing or two. Let's take a look:

Aaron Murray = NFL QB

Aaron Murray looks like a legit NFL QB on Saturday. He was in total
control of the Dawg’s offense. He also wasn’t rattled by Clowney. Teddy B is
going to get the hype in this year’s draft, but whichever team picks up Murray
is going to be pretty happy.

Florida is
going to have win with Defense

Driskel is a
below average QB. Play calling was not so good. They rushed for 2.8 ypr. The
defense held Miami to 1.8 ypr and 6.5 ypc and the Canes went 1-11 on third
down. All that and Florida still couldn’t win. It might take more than defense
for the Gators to be successful.

Mack Brown
pulling a Kirk Ferentz

Since 2009
the Longhorns have gone 5-7, 8-5 and 9-4. That’s not bad for a normal program,
but this is Texas. If they don’t figure things out on defense, Big XII play is
going to be rough, rough, rough for the Longhorns. 560 yards rushing? To a
Pac-12 team not Stanford or Oregon. If they drop another four games (Of which
three could be Baylor, TCU and OU) I’m not sure the Texas Boosters will be as
patient as the catatonic Hawkeye base.

Baylor will
win the Big XII

Speaking of
the Big XII, Baylor is going to win the conference. OU, WVU have no offense.
Texas can’t stop the run. TCU just lost Paschal. OKie State is their biggest
hurdle and I think their defense is on par with Baylor’s, but the Bears offense
is a notch or two above.

Kiffikins
will be unemployed by season’s end

USC scored 7
points against WSU at home. USC fans booed Kiffin. There are 4-6 potential
losses waiting in the wings for the Trojans. Including a potential UCLA home
loss to end the season. Sanctions or not, USC boosters want to win and are not
a patient bunch.

Quick Hits:

Northwestern
is for real!

Jump on the Bowling
Green bandwagon now.

I’m riding
the ATS o-fer run for both MSU and Iowa. There is a chance neither will cover
all season.

Chucky
Keeton is legit! Don’t be surprised if the Aggies win the MWC and upset USC in
two weeks.
